i also have “I hate to put it like this, but at this point, IDC is done negotiating with us. We have moved them quite a bit already, but they are now holding the line, saying that if we want the names of their ‘big’ analysts on the report this is it.”

Please make sure the documents you are using provide enough evidence not to bite mib_021sxr. We need researchers and collectors of this kind of information. Not getting themselfs into trouble because the document alone does not provide the enough to prove wrong doing.

“Myth No. 1: Guns cause crime. A review of the academic literature shows that there is no relationship between the number of guns and the amount of crime in the United States. Criminologists Gary Kleck and E. Britt Patterson reported in 1993 their finding that gun ownership had no significant effect on the rates of murder, assault, robbery, or rape in the U.S. Between 1973 and 1992, the rate of gun ownership in the U.S. increased by 45 percent

“Myth No. 2: Gun control laws reduce crime. Firearms have been regulated with increasing stringency in the United States for most of the past thirty years. Nevertheless, the number of firearms in private hands has increased continuously by many millions per year; handguns have become an increasing proportion of privately owned firearms; and rates of crime, violent crime, and homicide have shown no relationship to the passage or enforcement of g

Using homicide and suicide data from a larger sample of countries, 35, (International Journal of Epidemiology 1998:27:216), Kleck found “no significant (at the 5% level) association between gun ownership levels and the total homicide rate in the largest sample of nations available to study this topic. (Associations with the total suicide rate were even weaker.)”

and shock of shocks…we already knew about this philosophy some 2000 years ago ( love thy neighbor as yourself , etc. ) , but Im afraid not enough listened,,maybe we will over the next few thousand years if we make it that far

“With XP gone for good, vendors will have no choice but to migrate to Vista, adding extra hardware and storage to cope with the overbloated OS, thus driving prices up once again and widening the price gap between Windows and Linux based netbooks. “

Someone has volunteered to extract the text from the OLPC PDF. It’s reverse bribery. Putting funds in lots of places and threatening to withdraw these if the places stop paying Microsoft. What a kickbacks loophole.

I’ve been thinking. If the chaps like the ones in the video are affected by the Progression of the Depression, then they could be recruited and unnecessarily assigned to carry out some military coo overthrowing governments that are ‘disobedient’.

Godwin law invoked beforehand, I think. ” These cast MS as the uncool lumbering out of touch giant. Which in in the view of of a lot of folks they are. The next step would be to compare them to fascism that uses Hitler’s propaganda methodology, which they do.”

“If the chaps like the ones in the video are affected by the Progression of the Depression, then they could be recruited and unnecessarily assigned to carry out some military coo overthrowing governments that are ‘disobedient’.” Oh yeah.

That’s why the US has declared war on the entire world. That’s what the “War on Terror” is according to my relatives. They think it is AOK for US agents to murder, jail and torture people without trial.

Starting a war of aggression is “the supreme international crime” that “contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.” Bush must be brought to the Hague and prosecuted. < http://www.stallman.org/archives/2008-nov-fe… >

There’s a misconception. Some people think that if Windows “is for stupid people”, then it must be easy, as opposed to it just appealing to those who are blinded to better options (and are therefore “stupid”)

The criminal enterprise known as Microsoft finds itself embarrassingly exposed in the courtroom, for the IRS belatedly (decades too late) targets the company in an effort to tackle massive tax evasions
